i just got these software packages ver 9.2 what are some good features, seems like many features but most are reports which i dont really care...anything productive other than the SE submitter?
I tried those a year or so ago and didnt find much use for them. Why dont you play around with them and let us know what you think. Maybe i'll try them out again.
I have been optimizing my site with IBP9, and have found all the key elements comparisons with top ranking sites, and the suggestions given to improve page rankings for keywords, to be really helpful in getting my site more traffic from the search engines. It takes out the guesswork for what has to be done in acheiving high rankings. You can try the free version, but it is incomplete, so to really see how it may help your website, you have to buy the complete package. So far, it has been an easy guide for me to follow when I optimize a site. If you want to try the free version, or read more about it, I have a link for IBP on a page of mine at Webmaster Web Links.
after playing around with it, i found the search engine submissions uselfull, and the it can save u a little time by finding you revelant directorys to your site which u can save and then automatically fill in the forms of those directorys
I find IBP-9 to be more useful in preparing a site before search engine submission. The major search engines will pick up and index your site from link placed to your site from other website, which are already listed on the search engine. So submitting a site directly to the search engines is often not even required, if you have your site listed on other, established sites. It's getting a site optimized for the search engine which will get the traffic. If a site is not properly optimized, it may be listed on the search engine, but it will not get much traffic, because it is on the back pages, or past page one of the search engine's results. The site submission service IBP-9 offers is good for submitting to smaller, and less heard of, search engines, but for the engines and directories who are being used the most of, having your site linked from other sites seems to be more important, and will also get your site listed on the major search engines (Google, MSN, Yahoo!). At least that is the way I see it, but time will tell how effective IB-9 is on helping to achieve more traffic from the search engines to my still new site (see sheet music link below). take care dave
As a newbie to SEO a couple of years ago the original version helped me alot! - most every site that I have used IBP has received great results.
I case anyone is interested, I found a blog where there are reviews for IBP-9 SEO search engine optimization at http://keyword-phrases-research-guide.blogspot.com/
